I am looking for possible material selection for the shell side of a condenser operating at near atmospheric pressure with a 25% air 75% water vapor mixture flowing into condenser. Temperature is about 100C and vapor will contain some small amount of entrained chlorides.

Sam: You might give carbon steel with a corrosion allowance a look. Corrosion rates should be reasonable for a 10-year design life. Hope this helps! David Hendrix The Hendrix Group Inc.

I agree with the recommendation about carbon steel... I suggest a corosion allowance of 0.0625 to 0.125 inches If possible, I would also consider application of a Plasite/urethane coating for these modest conditions Here is a good place to start looking at coatings http://www.nace.org/buyersguide2002/list.asp?Catcode=3600&cat_name=APPLICATORS let us know what you decide....
